Hello Ankit,
>> Hi Manoj, you might want to check this method, because if you directly > substitute Fx = df/dx = c(x,y)/a(x,y) and Fy = df/dy = c(x,y)/b(x,y), you > get LHS = 2*c(x,y). You can take a look at > http://geo.hmg.inpg.fr/loret/enseee/maths/enseee-maths-IBVPs-3.pdf , > which discusses the solution of the pdes of this type based on their > classification. > > > Thank you for pointing me to a source that, discusses the solution to > pdes, based on their classification. However I'm afraid my question remains > unanswered for the following reasons. > Firstly, I think (I may be wrong) df / dx is equal to (dhof / dhox) (I don't know how to write it here), only if f is a function of x, if not df = (dhof / dhox) * dx + (dhof / dhoy) * dy , since f is a function of x and y, so I suppose df / dx cannot be substituted back in the equation. Secondly, I would like to cite this example in the research paper, by Dr. Starrett( Aaron's professor indeed ) Lie Groups<http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Feuler.nmt.edu%2F~jstarret%2F05-649LieGroupODEFinalVersion.pdf&ei=WxdcUb65L4OErQeQz4HoAQ&usg=AFQjCNE9ugXh9NmZVLxq9LB8fpYuo6vusA&sig2=HLQVAGHySZ3PndKBIPECdA&bvm=bv.44697112,d.bmk>. On page 16, he mentions clearly that to solve the equation, sx ξ + sy η = 1. It can be done by, ds = integral (dx / ξ) , I thought this might be for a case where only ξ is a function of x, but he goes on to say on page 20 that when ξ is equal to y, s would remain (x / y) . Sorry for being a bit bookish here, but I hope my point is being put across. It would be really helpful, if Aaron or other people here with a much better mathematical background than me over here, could show me the way ahead. -- Regards, Manoj Kumar, Mech Undergrad.
